Julius Malema’s parliamentary office has been burgled and his Economic Freedom Fighters are pointing fingers at the ANC.

An EFF MP said that the break-in‚ in which “confidential” files and other sensitive party documents were stolen‚ was part of an attempt to weaken it.

The ANC on Wednesday night dismissed the claims as ‘’stupid and not worthy of comment’’ and a publicity stunt.

EFF insiders said that‚ instead of intimidating them‚ the burglary had strengthened their resolve to take on the governing party and hold it to account.

The parliamentary precinct is a national key point and‚ therefore supposed to be among the most secure locations in the country.

The burglars had sufficient time to change the locks on the door of Malema’s office — though why they should bother to do so has the police baffled — ransack the office and steal files containing information about whistle-blowers in parastatals and “other government entities“.
